Ron, << just discovered this thread >> Hey, you're one of the good guy as I think highly of the entire crew. I find the entire a.m. to p.m. show both informative and sometimes entertaining & suggestive. Today's special about stock buy downs amused me. I do use this strategy myself, but it came across to me as brokerage firms looking for more transactions. Not a surprise considering their valuations. Too many on the sidelines isn't exactly good for business. Give me TRANSACTIONS was their word of the day. Not long ago it was 'hold that cash'. Ah, what tomorrow may bring??????? Larry

Please take the "caps-lock" off when posting. It gives the impression that you are shouting. :-) I, for one, totally disagree with the assertion that you're injecting a bearish tone to your interviews. You're CNBC's senior anchor for a reason. Keep up the good work! Tom

Cool! I'm refering to the report which you started with the old movie clip of the cowboys riding into town and shooting things up. It goes without saying that I enjoy and appreciate lots of points of view on the market, but (probably because you come across as very intelligent) there are lots of times during your segment where I (and my wife and others) get confused because we expect you to behave more like say Tom Brokaw (i.e., just present the information in a relatively neutral manner) and, instead we perceive an overly skeptical tone in the information and the delivery. What would help us out tremendously would be for you to take more of a full-time commentator/analyst role where it would be very clear that you are presenting your take on things rather than trying to combine that with the news reading duties. Just an idea. I hope you read this in a constructive manner as that is certainly how I am intending to write it. I apologize if it isn't completely clear. Chip coolhistory.com
